Please help if you can....whoever you are, I am 29 years old and I have been helping to raise 2 twins girls since I was 21. They are 14 now and are my pride and joy. About 2 years ago I lost my job as a restaurant manager as an act of retaliation because one of my 16 yo employees told me my district manager sexually harrassed her so I reported it to corporate, corporate didn't fire the guy, but 1 month later I got "LAID OFF". I collected unemployment for a few months while I looked for another job unfortunately unemployment was not enough to cover the monthly expenses( no cable,no home phone, 1 cell phone shared between me and my fiancee, and I get internet through my neihbors connection) so I jumped into the first job offer I got, unfortunately it was only making about 100 more a paycheck than unemployment so I ended up going through my savings I have been struggaling ever since, I have tried to get on every program my county offers but me and my fiancee make just over the monthly max. We have always managed to make it month to month(just barely) but it's come to a point where I am 500 behind on my rent but i think I can get it together before the sherriff comes to put us out in 2 weeks....but my electric is scheduled to be cut off tomorrow we have fallen behind and owe 1100.

I can't go to my parents because my father passed away when I was 19 and my mother has been homeless ever since I can remember. the only family I have is my fiancee and those 2 beautiful girls, my fiancee's family can't help because they do not have the means, they are from a very poor area in the city ( hence why we have been helping raise them)

 

Please if you can help with anything no matter how small, I would be forever grateful. I know that prayers can be answered.

you can help by calling BillMatrix Inc @ 1-800-960-1242 the pepco acct # is 2007526755 the building # on the account is 19216

I am a 41 year mother of two.  I am separated from my hushand who was and still is non-supportive.  To date, I have no idea where he is.  We lost our previous home and I now may face eviction because on my salary alone, I am having trouble making ends meet.

If anyone has it in their hearts to help, we would be greatly appreciative.  I know the holidays are coming, and this year again, we won't be having one.  All I ask, all we ask is for a little help, it's hard to find it this time of year.

God bless you all, had have a joyous holiday.

I am a 47 year-old male who lives in Germantown,MD. I recently fell on hard times when I temporarily lost my main source of income as a result of the closure of school for the summer. You see, I work as a substitute teacher; so when school closes, I am out of regular employment until it reopens. This temporary loss of income over a nearly three-month period affected my ability to meet my personal expenses, including paying rent. To keep up with some of my payments, I have had to do odd jobs here and there to earn some money; but what I earned was never enough to enable me meet my payments regularly,as hard as I tried, even at the cost of depriving myself of food and other personal necessities just to make sure my bills were paid. One result is my being in arrears with my rent for two months{August and September}. I rent one room in a basement for $450.00 a month. My landlord has been very gracious to understand my plight and has borne with me until now. His patience has worn out, and he is now demanding his money, which I do not have because school just reopened, and I just started work again only a few days ago. I do not want to be evicted as I really cannot afford a new place to stay right now. I am,therefore, sending out this emergency appeal for financial help to all those out there who may come across this post. You absolutely have no idea what a blessing you would be to kindly respond. Thanks very much and God bless!

I'm not looking for a handout, I'm hoping & praying to be able to get a hand up that will help me to be able to repay with some kind of an arrangement that allows me to be able to consolidate my financial troubles & make affordable monthly payments. I can't very well walk into a bank or other financial institution & ask for a loan because my credit has become very messed up. I'm a professional & mother of a brilliant child who is a high school junior. My sweet child has been through so much & must face the fact that we will be homeless in a matter of days if a miracle does not happen for us. I was forced to leave an abusive marriage almost 2 years ago & have been divorced for about 6 months. The trouble is that I financed just about everything in my marriage and was left with all the bills. I work very hard but I am now in so much debt that I'm 3 months behind on my rent & car payment so I'm about to be homeless & without a car and all my utilities are about to be discontinued. My child has a GPA above 4.0 and that will be reduced to zero if I don't pay the $2,500 that is past due on the school account. Although I am going out of my mind I go to work every day and yet I'm making no progress. The future is so very bleak for us! We're sometimes hardly able to buy gas to drive to work & school & our eating habits have become very unhealthy. We eat whatever is cheapest. I have failed my child and I'm not certain how much longer I will be able to maintain my sanity. I'm trying to keep my child from falling into deep depression but I am in despair myself and trying to keep him cheered up. I'm trying to find a roommate and will be starting additional work soon. I'm praying for strength to do what I need to do and I trust that it is not all too late. Please help if you can. Please help me back on my feet and I pledge to repay it all and then remain in a position to pay it forward. I want to be able to help as I have been helped. I believe my child is positioned for success and without some help now all that potential could be destroyed. HELP PLEASE!!!
